Quantum Science Audio Thread
@macdude ---once you try SR purple please report your findings.  I appreciate your honest personal feedback.    
NAS/Streamer or server/player?
I have experience in both.  I had a 4tb Synology NAS tied to a Lumin D-2, then A-1 and then X-1.  From a system perspective, I had my files and tidal and Qobuz so I was happy with the sound and performance.  It was a real nice system.   Then my w... 
Streamer/DAC
I had the Lumin D-2, A-1, U-1 mini (transport) and the flagship X-1.  Each step up was worth the money in SQ.  I love Lumin.  I had a Synology NAS connected to it with Tidal, Qobuz, MQA and Roon.  It is a very easy app to use.  You can find them o...

@soix  What cable are you referring to?  
300B for Canary Grand reference
@jasbirnandra what did you end up buying?  As you know I have the Western Electric in my Grand Reference.  
Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)
I bought a Lumin U-1 mini for my Lampizator Pacific until I received my Lucas Audio Media Server.  The U-1 mini is an inexpensive solution to your requirements and does Tidal and Qobuz.  However, if you want to amplify your SQ, getting a dedicated... 
Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room.
Mike Congrats on being able to compare two beautiful systems and deciding what is best for you. I have heard your system is something to hear and behold. I am not at your level but that does not matter. We all enjoy our music to the best of our c... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
Take a look at the Viking Acoustic lineup of speakers online.  I have the Grande Voix and love them.  I am sold on Horn speakers.  
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
Recently, i tested going from my Lampi Pacific direct to my 300B mono amps.  I was shocked at how good it sounded.  Maybe it is system-dependent but in my case with 98db horn speakers and having 16 Wesstern Electric 300 B tubes in my amps, I don't... 
Lumin P1 or X1 or others?
I have had the D-2. A-1, U=1 mini and X-1. I think the X-1 is the best DAC/Streamer under 18k that money can buy.  
High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
i have treated everything in my system with 1260 months ago.  After a recent inspection, there is very little residual still on the connectors.  Does that mean you have to re-apply?   Or, is 1260 still in effect working?  
K-horn won't fit, any other corner speakers recommended for a big room?
Viking Acoustic Project X or Fantom.  I have the Grande Voix and both are in corners in a room larger than yours.  Big Soundstage!
